* TheChainsOfCommanding: [[spoiler:Markham gives this trope as his counterargument to Walker not wanting to kill Choo-Choo. He tells Walker being in charge means having to make the hard decisions. He sees Choo-Choo as TheLoad and gives his own anecdote to Walker's about [[NoManLeftBehind injured commrades.]] He thinks they should be [[ShootTheDog abandoned]] or be given a MercyKill for the good of the whole unit rather than risk dragging everyone else down.]]

* InformedAbility: Markham comes with an earthshattering reputation as one of the most dangerous criminals to ever come out of Kentucky. Yet he spends most of the season being manipulated or targeted by one faction or another, quickly loses control over his men, and thus far has failed to accomplish anything.

* TheGunslinger: Trick Shot variety. Loves to show off his fancy pistol skills and how quick he is on the draw to intimidate others. [[spoilers: This doesn't save him in the finale, where he loses to Raylan's quick draw.]]

Added DiffLines:

* {{Foil}}: To Raylan Givens. While Boon dresses like an old west gunslinger, all of it is clearly an act. He has a hat custom made for him so he can look like an old timey cowboy, and favors a chrome plated revolver because it looks cool. Much of what he puts on is clearly an affectation. Raylan Givens, on the other hand, is ''exactly'' the type of guy Boon is pretending to be, with aspects like his hat and his gun fighter skills merely a part of his character than an act he puts on to scare others.

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The performer to Raylan's technician. Boon loves to show off his gun skills to intimidate his victims, whereas Raylan lets his skills speak for themself. [[spoiler: Fittingly, it's Raylan who comes out on top in their final duel.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TooDumbToLive: What ultimately does him in. [[spoiler: Not only does he pick a fight with a man famed for his own gunslinger skills, he fails to wear any body armor to protect himself. This is made especially egregious when he explains that body armor is the reason he favors head shots rather than aiming for the center mass. Had he worn a vest to his duel with Raylan, he likely would have won.]]

* ASimplePlan / WhatAnIdiot: Walker instructed him to follow Raylan and Tim in his car. When Raylan confronts him, he allows Raylan to drive off with his car, leaving him stranded. When Tim pulls up later, he fails to recognize Tim's vehicle as the same vehicle he'd been following earlier. Choo-Choo not only accepts a ride from Tim (failing to realize that Tim is a federal marshal), but shares details of Walker's operation with him.

* BadassGrandpa: Markham is a little older than Katherine, who has grandkids.
* BadBoss[=/=]BenevolentBoss: When giving Katherine advice on dealing with Boyd, he says that he ensures loyalty by overpaying his employees, making sure they're looked after and happy, arguing for the carrot rather than the stick. Then, when pressed, he says that if his employees cross him he'll cut out both their eyes as a "good start". Apparently cutting out on eye is insufficient because a one-eyed man can "still see, still get a driver's license, even". Nor is he in the market for an HonestAdvisor.

* FishOutOfWater: Though they are experienced soldiers and excellent in intimidating people on Markham's behalf, as time goes on they are shown to be out of their element when acting as criminals. [[spoiler: When an interrogation goes wrong, they decide to dump the body in the woods figuring that no one would ever find it. Turns out they wrapped the body in a carpet and dropped it on a hunting trail. During hunting season. The poor guy's corpse is found within a week. They also didn't strip the body, so the local police not only find his ID but Raylan's business card as well. Guess who they immediately call to help identify the body? To take it a step further, they are all killed around the halfway point of the season, due to bad luck, incompetence, or not being GenreSavvy to how harden criminals act.]]

* BigBad: Ultimately subverted. Markham is introduced with the same sort of fanfare as Bo Crowder, Mags Bennett, and Robert Quarles, but his schemes ultimately go nowhere, and rather than driving the plot forward, he finds himself the ''target'' of schemes from players like Boyd Crowder, Wynn Duffy, and Katherine Hale.

* BigBadEnsemble: Duking it out with Boyd Crowder and Katherine Hale for Season 6's villain top spot. As of episode four he is arguably the strongest candidate (he has the most power and is therefore the biggest threat, and his plans to take over Harlan are currently driving the main plot), although both Boyd and Hale's plans involve taking him down and either one has the potential to eclipse him before the season ends.
